French pear cake

French pear cake is a classic dessert that has won over palates around the world for its delicate combination of flavors and textures. Its origin dates back to the rural regions of France, where pears were a highly valued fruit and were used in various sweet preparations. This cake stands out for its crunchy pastry base and a juicy layer of pears, topped with a spiced crumb mixture that provides a unique contrast.

In Latin America, this dessert may have different names depending on the country, although it is generally recognized as "pear cake" or "pear tart." In some places, a local touch is added with native spices, but the French essence remains intact in all its versions.

How to Prepare French Pear Cake

To begin, combine the pears, orange juice concentrate, and lemon zest in a bowl and mix lightly.

Place the pear mixture in the unbaked pie crust.

Prepare the spiced crumb topping and sprinkle it over the pear mixture.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F.

Bake for 40 minutes or until the pears are tender.

Cover loosely with aluminum foil after 30 minutes if the top is browning too much.

Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Spiced Crumb Topping:

Combine the flour, sugar, spices, and salt in a bowl.

Incorporate the margarine, using a pastry blender, until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
